The Type of People You Never Want to RECRUIT in your MLM/Network Marketing business

-The Salesman

-The People Pleaser The Critic-

The Lazy Bum

So above you can see the four types of characters that you never want to bring into your MLM or Network Marketing business.

You might think each of them might have their advantages or strong points, like the salesman or the people pleaser. However all of the above have nightmarish traits that will make you wish you never opened your mouth about your opportunity.

We all want to sponsor as many people as we can but this can be a huge mistake. It can be better to have a smaller number of high performing people, than a team that is disruptive.

Here is why each of the above characters will cause you more hassles than you need-

• Salesman- They will do a great job of 'Pitching' and running around convincing every man, woman and child why they should get involved. After not being able to convince people they will either give up and move onto another opportunity or run back to their stable job. If they do actually stick in the business they will recruit people and then rarely give them the support they need to grow. Salespeople are fantastic for creating sales results, but not good for building a business, particularly when the business is people. Believe me, every time I have signed up one of these types I have seen the consequences.

• The People Pleaser- They will be too scared to talk to anyone. They will have the best intentions and might have even just joined you because they were too scared to say no to you. They will get your team nowhere. They will be too scared to get rejected or have anything to do with something that might make them feel uncomfortable in the eyes of others. Great for the volume points and rarely leave a team, however will do little to grow their own team.

• The Critic- They might join you just to test it out. They will come along, sign up with you, test out the product- to satisfy their own ego, then after trying the products, the comp plan and talking to their friend about it and actually complaining about the company, they will probably jump ship pretty soon. Oh and these are the toughest people to talk to in the first place anyway.

• The Lazy Bum- They like the proudct, stay on the auto ship but that is all they really do. They jumped at the 'opportunity' to make money but will do everything they can to avoid any ounce of 'work' to make that money happen, passively or actively.

So the obvious question is, who do you want in your organisation and how can you find them?

Here is the thing, ideally you want people who are either fed up with their life situation and are willing to take charge of their life to make it better, OR you want the 'Go-Getter' Enterpreuer types that will do whatever it takes to stay out of the rat race and reach their life goals.

Seem obvious? Well it might, however think about the number of times we end up recruiting the wrong type simply becasue we want to get to the next level or get those bonus sales points. Is it really worth it?

So now how do we find those types of people? Three steps-

1. Become such a person yourself. Set your Goals and Go for them!
2. Network with like minded people- Facebook, Twitter, Local Networking Events or even Seminars can be Great places to Start.
3. Master the Art of Qualifying People- Ask powerful questions- What are your life goals? Have you ever been in business for yourself before? How did it go? What would you have done differently? What do you think your biggest skills are and what can you teach others?

Aftey they pass your qualifying stage then, and only then think about going to the next step but remember, you want to give your 'great opportunity' to those that will appreciate it and run with it. Be proud of what you do and share it with those that you think will treasure it.

Now go Out and improve people's lives-Without Pressure.
